Chief Constable Lucy D'Orsi emphasized that the actions taken by PC Ian Whitmill while on duty were inappropriate, underscoring the expectation for officers to adhere to the highest standards of professional behavior.
During the Accelerated Misconduct Hearing, it was determined that PC Whitmill's actions breached the standards of professional behavior regarding discreditable conduct and duties, leading to his immediate dismissal.
Despite PC Whitmill accepting allegations as misconduct, Chief Constable D'Orsi asserted that they amounted to gross misconduct, insisting that such behavior is not tolerated within British Transport Police.
Chief Constable D'Orsi articulated a strong stance on officer responsibilities, stating, 'Officers on duty are there to protect the public, not facilitate their own sexual gratification.'
